# Performing a Minor Upgrade

### 1.1. Upgrading your 12d Synergy Server Application

- This document covers the process for a minor upgrade (e.g., from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2) rather than a major product upgrade (e.g., from v4 to v5).
- If you are looking for a major upgrade, please refer to our 12d Synergy V5 [Release Notes](https://help.12dsynergy.com/docs/v5releasenotes) and [Upgrade Notes](https://help.12dsynergy.com/docs/v5upgradenotes).

Upgrading your 12d Synergy Server application is easy.

> [!NOTE]
> To know the minor upgrade versions available within a major version, please refer to the [Looking for a different version? section > Select a version to download](https://files.12dsynergy.com/downloads/download.aspx) list in the [12d Synergy Downloads](https://files.12dsynergy.com/downloads/download.aspx) page. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/page(1).png)
